"Friendly staff and very clean room. "

"Stayed at Hotel Carmel for two nights and had a great experience overall. The location is excellent — only a few minutes’ walk to the Santa Monica Pier and beach. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes nearby, so everything you need is within easy walking distance. The hotel itself is older, but it was clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep after busy days exploring the area. Overall, no complaints at all. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place in a fantastic location, Hotel Carmel is a great choice."

"Everything was fantastic especially the penthouse restaurant and bar"

"Right next to and a view the Santa Monica beach and pier was incredible! Great walk down the boardwalk to Venice pier and back was awesome! Great set of viewing and “judging” chairs on the room’s balcony was a great way to end the day. Watch the sun go down and the pier light up was awesome! The staff was extra nice at check in to get to know us a little and help with recommendations on our vacation up the PCH."

"The hotel is lovely, clean, and well-maintained, with attentive and friendly staff. The beds were comfortable, the room was very quiet, and the view was excellent. Can't beat the location, easy walk to the beack or coffee shops and restaurants nearby. One note for families: the balcony railings have spacing wider than 4 inches (we measured), which may be a concern for those traveling with small children/infants. Parking is valet-only at $250 for two nights, which felt a bit steep, though understandable given the location. There’s no microwave in the rooms for reheating food, and no hot tub on-site."

"The staff was wonderful...everyone. The property is beautiful but would recommend a refresh with bathroom lighting."

"I had a great few days here with very friendly staff, good parking (paid) out front and a comfy bed. My only comment would be that there’s no coffee in the room - had to get dressed and go to reception for my morning fix 😂 and the pillows could be better. Otherwise an excellent place to stay near the beach and town centre. "
